STORM-SASH FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 790,842, dated May 23,1905. Application filed April 4, 1904. Serial No. 201,564.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK J ANECEK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented anew and useful Storm-Sash Fastening, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in sash-fasteners in which aportion of the fastener is secured to the sash and a cooperating portionis secured to the frame; and the objects of my improvement are, first,to provide a fastening which is permanently secured in position; second,to facilitate the clamping of the sash in position; third, to afford astrong and durable construction, and other objects which will becomeapparent from the description to follow. I attain these objects by theconstruction shown in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 isan elevation of a sash secured in a frame by fasteners embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of one of the fasteners. Figs. 3and 4 are end views of the two cooperating parts of a fastener. Fig. 5is a plan section on 5 5 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 6 is a plan section 011 6 6of Fig. 2.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout theseveral views.

In the drawings, 10 is the frame.

11 is the sash.

12 .is the recess in the frame for the reception of the sash.

The fastener may be considered as consist ing of a male member 13,secured to the frame 10, and a female member 14, secured to the sash.The male member 13 consists of a pin rigidly secured to a plate 16 inany desired manner, as by riveting. The free end of the pin 15 may beenlarged slightly to form a head. The plate 16 is provided with aplurality of holes for the reception of screws, by means of which it issecured to the frame. The female member 14 consists of a rotatablemember'17, mounted in a bearing 18, which is loosely secured in a plate19. The bearing 18 is preferably secured to the plate 19 by having itsstem extended through the plate and through a washer back of saidplate,where it is riveted or otherwise secured, so as to form aswivel-joint. The plate 19 is provided with a plurality of holes for thereception of screws, by means of which it is secured to the sash. Therotatable member 17 is preferably made of the cylindrical portion 20 andthe cap or sleeve 21, the two being secured together by a pin or rivetpassing through both. The bearing 18 is confined between an offset onthe portion 20 and the end of the cap 21. The exposed end of the portion20 is provided with a radial slot 22, the innermost end of said slotbeing some what eccentric to the axis of rotation. The slot 22 isdesigned to receive the pin 15 of the male member. The cap 21 and thepart 20 are provided with a perforation 23 for the reception of a bar orWire nail for the purpose of rotating the member 17 in the bearing 18.

In operation when it is desired to secure a storm-sash into awindow-frame all the female members 14 are placed into such positionthat the slots 22 are in a osition to receive the pins 15 of the ma emembers 13 when the sash is placed into the frame. The sash is thenplaced in the frame, the slots 22 passing over the pins 15, the severalcooperating members of the fasteners having previously been secured tothe sash and frame in proper positions to e'fiect this cooperation, and.finally each rotatable portion of the female members 22 is givenone-half rotation by placing a bar or any suitable instrument into theperforations 23. This pulls the sash tightly against the frame and looksit in position.

It will be noted that by use of this fastener a stormsash can beproperly and securely fastened in a window-frame from the interior of abuilding, thus avoiding the necessity of erecting a ladder or scaffoldon the exterior of the building, as is often done at present.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. In a sash-fastener, one member secured to the frame comprising anextending pin one member secured to the sash comprising a part arrangedto rotate in a swiveled collar provided with a radial slot to receivesaid pin.

In a sash-fastener, an extending pin se- 10o cured to the frame; a blockarranged to M volve in a bearing which is pivotally secured to the sash;said block rovided with a slot in one end to receive sald pin and meansfor revolving said block.

3. In a sash fastener, a plate provided with an extending pin secured tothe frame; a collar or bearing pivotally secured to a plate rigidlysecured to the sash; a cylinder closed at one end and provided with anexterior annular shoulder loosely fitted into said collar or bearing; aslot in the closed end of said cylinder to receive said pin; a collarfitted and name to this specification, in the presence of 20 twosubscribing Witnesses, this 2d day of April 1904, at Chicago, Illinois.
